Branden Ray... It Won't Be Long

Damn this dude looks fucking awesome. Really all I have to say.

I do agree with waylander on the videos of most others lifting not being anything close to as entertaining as Ronnie.

Makes you wonder who came in first.

Thanks for that.

Being a shoulder lady I prefer Branden Ray. I know there is more to becoming a pro but B Ray’s deltoids and the perfect chest shape and symmetry are just rare. mass and conditioning are achievements but shape is inborn - no matter how full or lean you can get, your shape is your muscle id.

I speak from a purely aesthetics point of view, of course.

Your shoulders are fantastic also.
I remember the shapely and vascular quads thread from years ago.

P.S. You were very funny on that recent squat video…put you with the ladies, lol.

What! No way! That is crazy. Jealous.

This guy came in second last year in the Light Heavy USA’s and from the looks of things will no doubt eventually get his pro card.

This is the current In the Trenches:

His shoulders are amazing.

I was also impressed with that big monster in the far left of that picture.Now that’s a big dude.

very impressive! very nice striations in his chest, and shoulders. calves are also very impressive, looks like a damn butt crack when he flexes them!

amazing CHEST also, great genetics! full,big, round,

Yes, he was the first ‘thing’ that I saw…with the yellow shirt.
I was curious at who he was.

Brandon Ray seems alright, but what annoys me is seeing him in all of my magazines when he is not even a pro yet. Him and Troy brewer. It seems like they just pick certain guys to create some hype over…There are probably tons of other guys that could use a pictorial or two who are just as good or better and probably more deserving.

Amazing symmetry.

Guy looks awesome - been watching him for a while now.

So…you hate that he has endorsements?

I agree, there are other guys in NPC who are really good. That is why it is up to you and everyone who follows this shit to go look for them and help out. Most would go unnoticed if it weren’t for fans of the sport.

the guy who came in first in the 2008 USA is in his 40’s and has looked amazing for years. He just now received enough attention to win…and that sucks.

Think you’re confusing Branden Ray with Brandon Curry. Also, it’s Trey Brewer.
